Wednesday morning, bright and early, we headed south to Bay Springs Marina, New Site, Mississippi. This portion of the Tennessee River is called the Divide Cut...it is actually a 24 mile canal that connects the Tennessee River to the TomBigbee waterway. More earth was moved to form this channel than was moved to form the Panama Canal. Beautiful it is not...but hey, it sure works. Water was only 280 feet wide and most of the time it was 15 feet deep...and yes, we did cross paths with a couple of tows. Sure narrows that channel in a hurry. Arrived at Bay Springs around 1:30. Met some looper folks and watched the weather...trying to decide whether to go or stay.
